    Ability to sync tables to HDR & RSS secondaries when converting from RAW to STANDARD mode.

    It is significantly faster to load a table in TYPE(RAW) mode than TYPE(STANDARD) mode. However, this option is not practical for sites using HDR and/or RSS secondary servers for replication as RAW mode tables do not replicate forcing the site to b...
